 Stained Glass - History / Glossary / Online Examples
Early Romanesque style stained glass was influenced by the linear patterning, abstraction and severe frontality found in Byzantine Art.
After panes of glass were cut according to an overall pattern, the pieces of glass were painted with faces, folds of draperies, inscriptions, etc. using black pigment.
This meant that the clear glass could be of regular shapes and increasingly it became normal to use rectangular panes, Leading became purely utilitarian and no longer served the artistic purpose of accentuating the painted lines.
